16 So-Nostalgic Photos of a Young Kate Hudson in Celebration of Her Birthday

While Kate Hudson is now a regular on red carpets, stages and television screens, back in the day … she was also a red carpet regular, as a kid with a very famous mom and dad!
The actress and singer, who turns 46 on April 19, 2025, was born in 1979 to Oscar-winning actress Goldie Hawn. Just a few years later, Hawn began dating fellow star Kurt Russell and they happily raised a blended family that ended up with all three of their kids seeking the spotlight.
More than four decades later, look back at some of the cutest photos of Hudson and her famous family in celebration of her big day.

In this candid shot, Kate (right) is seen posing with her mom, Hudson and a little one who is assumably their little brother Wyatt.
“My Mama didn’t wait around to get the perfect pic,” Kate wrote alongside this photo in a Mother’s Day tribute to Hawn. “In fact she has few pics of all of us together because she let us run around and be in the moment.”
